My Why: Dr. Libby Brever
The passion to practice day-after-day is not one of those things that just happens in an instant, but it happens over the progress of time. I really believe it is an honor to do what I do. This is part of my life and not just a job. I hope I never get to a point where I don’t feel that honor when I sit with a patient and talk about what’s going on in their life. If I can help them then I’ll do it, whether it’s removing an ingrown toenail or figuring out why they’ve had night sweats and unexpected weight loss over the last six months. It’s really just a great, great privilege and opportunity to do what I do.
— it’s really important to them and I need to make sure that I am present for that.
There are times in the busy-ness of our day when I have to take a deep breath before I go in to be with a patient. Whatever their reason is for seeing me—whether it is the most serious I’ve had all day or not— it’s really important to them and I need to make sure that I am present for that.
